Typically this happens when you're trying to specify the path where you want to create the file you're 'touching' and one of the folders in your path doesn't match up to what the system actually sees. Double check that the path is correct (spelling, folder order, etc.). I've had this happen before when I'm either not in the proper starting folder (trying to touch spec/... when I'm already in the spec folder) or simply mis-typed the folder names.
